About Me

Statement of Purpose

The goals of the FlyRNAi blog are (1) to help biological researchers learn more about RNAi, cell-based assays, Drosophila cell culture, high-throughput screening, fly biology and other related topics, (2) to facilitate conversation about these topics, and (3) to increase visibility of the DRSC. Feedback and questions are welcome.
